Twin Lock BCP Medial Distal Tibia Plate
- Fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures of the distal tibia (Tibial Plafond or Pilon fractures)
- Osteotomies of the distal tibia
- Twin Lock-BCP Medial Distal Tibial Plate (Left and Right) merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques
- The combi hole in the locking plate shaft combines a dynamic compression unit with a locking screw hole. Combi holes provide the flexibility of axial compression and locking capability throughout the length of the plate shaft
- Locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct which provides a stable construct even in osteopenic bone or multi-fragment fractures where screw purchase is less. These screws do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to resist patient load, but function similarly to angled blade plates
- Low profile head for minimal prominence on medial malleolus
- 3.5 mm cortex and 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws sit flush with a plate in the non locking portion of distal combi-holes to minimise screw prominence
- 3.7 mm cannulated locking and 3.7 mm cannulated conical (for compression) can be used distally in the metaphyseal area near joint
- Rounded edges to minimise soft tissue irritation
- Limited-contact shaft profile
- Three distal locking screws diverge across the subchondral bone and are parallel to joint
- Four to fourteen Combi-holes in the shaft
- Two distal combi-holes
- Distal Kirschner wire hole for plate placement (2.0 mm maximum diameter)
- Available in stainless steel or titanium
Oblong holes in the head and six round locking holes in the head (periarticular area – distally) accept the following screws
- Cannulated 3.7 mm locking and cannulated 3.7 mm conical screw (For compressionss
- 3.5 mm cortex screws
- 3.5 mm locking screws
- 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws
